    3,500 Lumen Wall of Light: Nitecore TM26 (Pics, Specs, etc...)

    When I first learned that Nitecore was to introduce the TM26, I was not only underwhelmed by its fugly four headed design, but turned off by its inflated price for gobs of wasted and unfocused lumen output. Also called 'Quad Ray', It had four emitters each with small separate reflectors. It...

    Grace -USA- anyone?

    Starrett is the one of the first name that comes to mind in quality tools. They certainly have a large selection of products with an even greater reputation and following. I decided to try something different. I'm always happy to acquire more tools, even ones I already own and I don't mind...

    FSA-L1: Spotting Scope to 1,500mm DSLR Telephoto Lens

    So, I have a new product that I've been pretty excited about. I've been acquiring additions for my nikon ED 82 as many of the accessories are being/have been discontinued.

    How to Make & Where to Buy 'Big Eyes' : Double Spotting Scope

    I've been looking into this and have stumbled across some really unique projects others have built. I'm aware that SWFA has the Swarovski version but 5k is a bit steeper than I'm prepared for. I've seen people refer to the setup in general as 'Big Eyes', if its SWFA trademark I'll reword it if...

    New 75x Eyepiece: Dedicated for Digiscoping

    So I recently took possession of two new eyepieces for my spotting scope. The first is a variable 25-75x MC 2 and second is a wide view 75x digiscoping eyepiece. Upon receipt I immediately noticed a much larger size and weight than the two I already own. Until now, I've had a 25x fixed MC 1...

    New Tripod Adapter: Digiscoping and Bi Optic Mounting

    I received this yesterday. It's a spotting scope adapter by Nikon. It's designed for digiscoping but I was hoping to get additional use out of it as it seams quite versatile. I will still buy a dedicated one since Nikon build them to fit their cameras to their line of spotting scopes...

    Rifle Scopes Inside Out: Another Cap Solution for Low Mounted Scope

    So I recently found these caps that were from an old crappy spotting scope. They are similar to lens caps or cameras where tension is placed from inside the objective to keep them in place. Although its a great fit or my scope there is still not enough clearance for the barrel. Off to the...

    My New Bench: Rock BR and Stable Table

    Aside from the obvious reasons for purchasing a portable bench I have done so in part from physical restrictions. I most often shoot prone but with spine problems taking their toll I'm giving myself another option to switch back and forth opposed to limiting the frequency and length of my...

    Annoying Mosquito Bites - Gone: Quick Tip

    I went out with a new rifle last week. Before shooting on my property I 'sight in' in the woods next to the clearing I have.

    Infrared (IR Thermometer) for Monitoring Barrel and Bore Temp

    . I use a variety of these in my line of work. Recently, I though that it would be a nice idea to start monitoring and recording barrel and bore temps while I'm shooting. I think it would be great data to collect information on not only how your barrel performs (at certain temps) but also what...

    Rifle Scopes 11mm... Why CZ? - How to top with 30mm rings that aren't crap?

    Just the other day I stumbled upon a CZ 455 Varmint in 17hmr that caught my eye. One of the first things I noticed was the ridiculous size rail on top. I understand that they make a 3/8th rail for a different market but this is a skinny 11mm. I brought it up to my local gunsmith before buying...
